Re: New Asst. Coach?

I like the PR hire, I like it a lot. What I do not want to see is a bunch of guys from Iowa coaching on this team though. No offense to anyone but I want guys that have been in other successful programs from various conferences and regions of the country. Not everyone needs a tie to ISU somehow...

I couldn't agree more. We need some great recruiters with TX and FL ties. I hope the staff is a group with diverse experience and backgrounds.

Bleil is a native Iowan, yet he has coached in a variety of regions. Is he not "OK" to coach at ISU?

Coach Ash, do you object to him returning to ISU?

If PR chooses to offer staff positions to one or two coaches from GC's ISU staff, you would object?

To me, ISU connections are irrelevant to PR's staff search. I hope he hires those coaches who give him the best possible chance to build a successful program. If some coaches have ISU connections, fine. If some coaches do not have ISU connections, fine.

IMHO, the coach's ability -- not the institutions where he has coached during his career -- is the salient fact.

It is the man -- not the institution -- that matters.

Re: New Asst. Coach?

You need to have some diversity within a program like this and there are not enough great coaches from Iowa to fill an entire staff. There are some coaches from old staff that I would like to see retain.

I think just the one name has been verified. There has been no news on who is staying from the old staff or who is going to Auburn. But it has only been 1 week with Christmas in there. Whizik doenst have anyone hired and he has been at Auburn for 2 weeks.

Re: New Asst. Coach?

Well, I heard (a few days ago) that we are a week or two out before OC and DC are chosen or at least made public. Does anyone think the OC and DC will be coming from bowl teams? Any insight as to what teams? Anything leaking at this point who might be the guy/guys?
